"Xuer." Madam Ling frowned.
"Ma'am, miss, we should go to the old lady's." The maid outside the door came in and reminded the two of them.
Madam Ling's birthday banquet is about to begin.
"Little men don't cry. There are no big villains who bully my sister. Now, shall we celebrate grandma's birthday?" Ling Yu knelt down to comfort her, and looked into his eyes.
Ling Xu also had a very soft temper, and followed Mrs. Ling just like her. However, he is the son of the Xiangfu, so he will definitely suffer in the future with such a temper.
"Okay." Ling Xu wiped his tears with his hand, stubborn and serious, "Xu'er is a man, he must protect his sister, and won't let big villains bully and scold her."
Ling Yu stood up, took his hand and walked out.
Madam Ling looked at the figures of the two and followed them, her eyes were constantly thinking.
North courtyard.
Old Madam Ling was wearing a dark yellow blouse embroidered with complicated patterns, her white hair was pinned up, and there was a smile on her wrinkled face, nodding from time to time.
"I wish grandma a long life and good health. This is a little care from my grandson." A man in a blue brocade robe bowed his hands and said to the old lady Ling.
"Alright, alright, Zhou'er has a heart." Mrs. Ling nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Zhang looked at her youngest son again, who also went up, and Old Madam Ling's smile deepened.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang showed pride in her eyes.
Her two sons are also very competitive. If they are named on the gold list, then her good days will come.
"grandmother."
A thin and childish voice came.
"Eh."
Mrs. Ling had already responded when she heard the sound, and stood up, smiling, "It's Xuer."
"Grandmother wants to live a long life." Ling Xu rushed to her side with a serious face.
He is very short and very small. Old Madam Ling looked at him with wet eyes, "Okay, grandma has to wait until my son grows up, obtains fame in the exam, and gets married, so that she can close her eyes with peace of mind."
She didn't like Ling Yu and Mrs. Ling, but she had special feelings for Ling Xu, the legitimate son.
A concubine is a concubine after all, there is a difference between a concubine and a concubine.
She can still tell the difference.
"En!" Ling Xu also nodded heavily, "Wait for Xu'er to grow up!"
Mrs. Ling signed him inside, and when she saw Ling Yu walking in, she made a gesture to salute, "I have seen..."
Ling Yu didn't stop it.
Old Madam Ling narrowed her cloudy eyes, and continued, "I have seen Princess Xian."
"Grandmother, you don't need to be too polite." Ling Yu stepped forward to help her up at this time, raised a smile, and said pleasantly, "How is grandma doing recently? Will the migraine happen again?"
"No problem." Mrs. Ling shook her head.
"The old lady's headache has become a little serious recently, and her legs and feet are inconvenient. It's probably due to the change of the weather." Aunt Zhang said on the side.
Ling Yu raised her eyebrows and looked sideways.
"The old lady is also worried about Xiaoyu, and she can't sleep well these days." Aunt Zhang stood aside and continued to speak.
Come on, this topic brought Ling Yu back.
Those present, you look at me, and I look at you.
How insignificant does the prince have to be to make this behavior
Don't mention how aggrieved this princess is.
"Yu'er is now Princess Xian, Aunt Zhang still needs to pay attention to the rules." Mrs. Ling, who was usually very quiet, said in a calm tone at this time.
Aunt Zhang's face froze.
From a certain point of view, Yang Ruo has been "bullyed" by her for more than ten years, and many habits and subconsciousness have changed a lot, forming habits in a short time.
"It's a concubine, isn't it?" Aunt Zhang quickly admitted her mistake, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes pleasing to the eye, it was rare for her to be so submissive.
Ling Yu turned her head to her side and said nothing.
The atmosphere froze, embarrassment and seriousness spread.
"Young girl." Mrs. Ling patted her hand and sat on the upper seat, in fact, she wanted her to calm things down.
If it's okay to say that Princess Xian is favored, the key is just her name.
"Aunt Zhang is serious." The corner of Ling Yu's mouth curled up, and she said something in a serious manner.
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang dared to get up and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was too careless, there are other people today, if any rumor spread, it would be very bad for her.
Before she could reflect on it carefully, Ling Yu half-jokingly said, "I used to think that Auntie Zhang has a brighter temper, and the rules inevitably bound her, but now I think it's better for Auntie to change. After all, rules are rules. If my family doesn't care about it, if I cause trouble elsewhere, it will be troublesome."
To put it bluntly, neither big nor small.
An aunt is really her own wife.
Old Madam Ling's complexion also sank. On the one hand, she felt that Aunt Zhang was her niece, and she said that she herself would be ashamed, but on the other hand, she felt that it was reasonable. The wife and concubines were not on the same level. Aunt Zhang had been too unruly in recent years.
"The concubine knows her mistake." Aunt Zhang knelt down, her attitude was very sincere, "Because it's my aunt's birthday, I couldn't help being a little happier, and forgot the rules."
Can you not admit your mistake
If Ling Yu asked her to hand over the power of the family, it would cost her half her life.
For a small family like her, being in charge of the house is a lucrative job with enough rights.
"My aunt is serious. It's grandma's birthday. Hurry up and pay more attention in the future." Ling Yu slapped her and gave her a sweet date.
"Thank you, princess." Aunt Zhang got up and still looked nervous, she stood aside and did not show off.
Even Mrs. Ling didn't make a fuss about Ji Yang's affairs.
A princess is a princess.
It means marrying into the royal family, and the status is there.
"Old lady, King Chen and King Xu are here." The servant ran in and gasped.
"Hurry up, call Shang Xiangye, and hurry up to greet him." Old Madam Ling got up and ordered, her brows raised slightly. In the past, King Xu only sent congratulatory gifts, or he would come later for a formality. .
On the other hand...
She looked at Ling Yu beside her and sighed a little.
Ling Yu is the daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her talent is not bad, but marrying into Princess Xian is not considered important, and she cannot provide benefits for the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is really a waste.
the door.
Two gorgeous carriages stopped.
The curtain was opened, and Ji Yao, who was wearing a moon-white robe with wide sleeves, bent down and got out of the car.
"I have seen Lord Chen."
"Prince Xu."
Everyone salutes.
"Exemption." Ji Yao waved his hand, "This king is here to congratulate the old lady today, so there is no need to be so polite."
As he spoke, he glanced at the figure standing behind him from the corner of his eye, his long and narrow eyes shimmered a little, the woman stood upright, a ray of sunlight shone on her face, her delicate skin became whiter and her eyes were clear , revealing a trace of softness and delicacy.
Like in his many dreams.
Gritty yet soft and gentle.
"Second Brother, your carriage is too fast." The man in black brocade got out of the carriage and spoke to Ji Yao.
"Meet Lord Chen."
The group of people saluted again. This is the last emperor's youngest son, the eighth prince Ji Xing. His biological mother was a court lady who died of dystocia.
"Let's go." Ji Yao didn't reply much, and walked inside first.
Passing by Ling Yu, he slowed down, and when he met his gaze, she nodded, "Prince Xu."
He responded lightly and moved on.
Walking a few steps forward, it seems that I can still smell the aroma of white sandalwood on the other person. Just like her, it is light and quiet, seemingly nothing, and it smells very good. It makes people feel refreshed physically and mentally, and relieves a lot of dryness fire.
"King Xian hasn't come yet?" Ji Xing walked up to Ji Yao and shook his head, "Ling Yu has been unlucky for so many lifetimes, and she was born beautiful. If you marry me, you don't have to be so wronged."
"In this life, I have seen the end."
Ji Yao glanced at him, and said softly, "Don't talk about right and wrong behind your back, be careful that walls have ears."
"Got it, Second Brother." Ji Xing followed behind him, opened his mouth for a long time, and then said, "Why is Sixth Brother not thinking? Ling Yu is also a stunner, so he won't have any problems, right? "
The princes are also assigned, and Ji Yang and the emperor are their secret opposites.
"Your mouth." Ji Yao stopped and pointed at him.
Ji Xing quickly shut up, his eyes were still gloating.
Although Ji Yao had no expression on his face, there were still waves in his heart.
After being watched for too long, Ji Xing put away his frightened expression, turned a little serious, and moved, only to find that Ji Yao was in a trance, not looking at him at all.
"Second brother?"
"Yeah." Ji Yao withdrew his gaze.
Just as the two were about to move forward, a voice came from behind the rockery.
"Auntie."
"explain."
"Although the lord has the same room with the young lady, as far as I know, the consummation has not been consummated. Moreover, the lord doesn't seem to be keen on matters between men and women, so the servant..."
"Sure?"
"Slave is sure."
"Did you hear that the prince will come?"
"The servant has not heard of it."
"Looks like Ling Yu can't turn around anymore, do you remember what I told you?"
"The servant knows."
